🪔 About
Guru Srinath Raut was a gifted Indian classical Odissi dancer, choreographer, and guru from Odisha. He was a proud product of Utkal Sangeet Mahavidyalaya in Bhubaneswar, where he received his training from two of the greatest masters of Odissi: Guru Pankaj Charan Das and Guru Debaprasad Das. At the age of 30, he was sent to New Delhi with the mission to promote Odissi. Over the subsequent 17 years, until his untimely death at the age of 47 in a road accident in New Delhi, he established himself as an innovative choreographer and groomed approximately 300 dancers, many of whom became well-known names in the field. His significant contributions to Odissi are commemorated annually through the "Guru Pranam Utsav" in New Delhi, an event conceptualized and curated by his senior disciple, Odissi exponent Jyoti Srivastava, founder and director of Vaishali Kala Kendra. Jyoti Srivastava has also instituted the "Guru Srinath Raut Award" in his honor, conferred annually on a renowned artist.
